I guess it really depends on what shopping experience you’re looking for.This is pretty much a flea market though, fortunately, the fleas didn’t jump on us.It really looks like where the garage sale leftovers go. Nothing particularly interesting or inviting.8 track tapes. Really? A few booths really looked like a bad day.Not a place we’ll be returning to.
Went to Collectamania for the first time last week. My daughter and I had a lot of fun! You know what they say, One mans junk is another mans treasure. The place is huge! Some of the booths were very messy and impossible to really see what was available but I am guessing that is the fault of the persons owning the booths. But, barring that, there is a lot to look at! I found a couple of sweet dolls for my granddaughters in excellent condition and my daughter found several things to purchase.
Nice place to wander and see what you can find! As with any store of this type you have to know your prices. There are some pretty pricey items here but also a lot of cool deals.
Always an amazing place to visit. Could spend many hours looking at everything.
I have been to the store about 4 or 5 times however I never leave empty handed. I always find something I want.
Love this place. Always something new. Prices are great.
Fun looking at so many items I have to go back.
This is a fun place to just get lost in for a while. Huge building similar to brass armadillo in size. Lots of old format media, as well as furniture and some knick knackery. Great place to pick up a random gift for that person that has everything.
So much to look at and never enough day to do so. I think they need to have like an over night experience. Bring your own tent and little grills. Browse and shop all day then since you wont be done... just take a snooze, eat and get ready to pick up where you left off... sounds perfect. Maybe wrench and go or yaws could do the same thing? Over night shopping the new thing since theres hardly any 24 hr stores... Whos with me?
I love this place. Prices higher then it could be but its FUN to look around
Great staff- very friendly- cool stuff! Decent prices!
This is a antique shopping place full of older items, collectables, and the like. The staff is older but does its best to accommodate requests. The store can be a little dingy at times but you will probably find something neat to look at.
One of my favorite places just to browse almost always find something i want.
This store has been going downhill for a while now. I walked in with a smallish purse and they said if it was bigger than this box on the counter then I had to leave it behind the counter. It was SMALLER than the box and he said I couldnt take it into the store.Later I saw a woman walking around with a purse larger than mine. Clearly he was just assuming Id steal. Not coming back.
It was a fun shop to walk around, lots of different treasures and fun things. There were a lot of records, metal signs, and even live plants! Prices were mostly reasonable, but varied from each area (different sellers so it makes sense).The people working were all pleasant, even joked around with us.Only reason I cant give 5 stars is because of the gross amount of Trump 2020 and 2024 merchandise that was in here... and it wasnt a few things, Im not offended by these things, it was just super overwhelming.
Not organized the best, but take your time u can find it, because they have it
Was coming to check this place out and upon entering I was informed that i needed to leave my bag behind the counter. If thats your policy, fine. But then a group of white young ladies with very similar bags walked right through without an issue. I spoke up about it and was ignored. It was only after my white boyfriend spoke up about that something was said.
The staff and people are really friendly. Great selection of items and decent prices. I love coming here just to walk around and hang out. Always find great things.
Awesome deals on all kinds of items.
This was a fun find. Always looking for new treasure hunt locations. Well worth the trip to this place.
Has so many things for collectors...great place
Very good, nice people, case 24 always has good deal as does 51, there is a little bit of everything in this store
This was cool place to go. There is alot to see, spent over an hour here. Got alot of nice things. Some of the staff could be more helpful and not so rude.
Cool place slow service
Love them anything you can think of they have
Collectamania looked very interesting. All kinds of everything. Seemed as though older people ran the place. I only stopped in for directional help. Would have loved to do some shopping!
Not half bad . If your looking for old and expensive stuff this is your place. It is kind of sketchy but they have good security. I would recommend going on a Saturday because they have a little bakery in the front with very good treats.
.... Its a fun place to visit .. HOWEVER.... ... IT NEEDS SOME AIR CIRCULATION. The one side upstairs has air circulation... But the area downstairs is stifling and much too warm to enjoy shopping. They really need to address this issue.
I tend to purchase things when I come here but I dont feel good about it. Rude staff, unwelcoming environment, dirty and run down feeling (especially the bathrooms).
Good assortment of things to look at, brings back memories and other things I have never seen before. Gave it 3 stars, due to the fact they wont come down on prices unless the item is over $20, plus a few items are over priced, but its up to the seller, not the store. Its a flee market, what else you expect.
Amazing store antique mall if you plan on shoplifting- DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!YOU WILL GO TO JAIL AND YOU WILL.BE CHASED DOWN IF YOU RUN! YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND PROSECUTED.
This place is great!! A little overwhelming but it was great!
GREAT SELECTION and the STAFF WAS AWESOME!!! THIS WILL BE ONE OF MY,MUST STOP LOCATIONS!👍
I have an old soul and feel right at home here. Ppssttt, dont tell my husband I went unattended. 😂😂
Cool store with unique items.
I love it there, but there prices are way to high.
Great value items.
Worse Flea market. The staff was rude. After I offered a price for my dvd movies they didnt allow a counter offer to their offer fir them.I was wrongfully kicked out.They rip people off worse than goodwill.
A lot of amazing things
That place is big and you can find anything your looking for
Good place to find whatever you need you need if you need it they probably got it
Fun place to shop. They have something for almost anyone. A must stop if you are in the Des Moines area.
Fabulous, could spend all day there!
Love this place, so many cool and unique items!
The gentleman I spoke to try to Super lowball me on the items I brought in. It was almost disrespectful is 2 what he was offering when we know what they were worth.
Good selection of antiques, retro, andstuff from the past.
Never know what your going to find. It is an older shop and some stuff might be more junk then treasures but we almost always find something to take home. Ive purchased puzzles, things for the yard, pocket knives, music posters ect....from here. If you want to get out of the house for a little while worth stopping in.
Absolutely awesome place amazing things to look at wonderful finds. Great selection.
Lots of unique items. Some prices good, others great, but some werent worth it too. Great place to just kill time and take a walk down memory lane with almost something for everyone. Even snacks and some groceries.
Didnt like the bi-level design, was so tired I skipped some 25% of the store
This place has something for everyone! Make sure you have plenty of time to look around.
I loved it here. The people were super nice. There was some flea market stuff but the vast majority was vintage, everything from glassware and furniture to gas cans and saw blades. There is something for everyone.
Visiting from Kansas City...this place was amazing! Just like a great flea market should be!! Spent a couple hours here and time flew! Literally had a bit of everything!!! And ALL the prices were reasonable! Very clean and organized and we were super impressed with the whole establishment!! Will return every trip!!
Love this place, but I need to keep my wallet at home
Was treated like second class filth. They wouldnt let me buy my stuff and leave. Not my kinda place.
Cool place, nobody wore masks, so its only a 4.
This was my first time in the store. A little bit of everything. A must see.
Great variety and good prices! Helpful and friendly staff!
Mostly quality stuff. Good deals. Excellent customer service and staff.
Probably good for someone who shops at these kind of places but very confusing layout but the few workers I talked to seem very nice. Just not my kinda store.
We always find something there that we like. Great place to find unique thing that know one might not have. We love going there when ever we are in town.
Nice collectables got a little bit of everything.
Lots of interesting things for sale.
Everyone is always nice & welcoming.
Lots of stuff good variety fair prices
Extremely active parking lot, almost to congestive to navigate.Store layout is a well thought out and customer-friendly, and the items for sale are novel.Overall pleased with the experience.
Always find great stuff here and its pretty well organized.
Couldnt believe how much stuff there is here! Its impressive! But can also be overwhelming. Really cool place to wander around and kill time, or go on a hunt for a rare or unusual treasure!
My kinda paradise!! Everything known to man!! Sure wish they could figure a better way for pricing, verses there unattended stalls. Found some old cotton Gin scales, no tag so I couldnt buy em......overall great place.
Great place to find some last min gifts or you might find antiques worth money if you know what to look for! nice staff and i always get stuck in this store over a hour everytime i visit! always something new to find or see!
No description I could make would adequately convey the absolute grandeur of this place. No picture could bring to life the treasures this place displays through a maze of aisles and floors. Go there and be a witness.
Staff is very friendly and we always find either exactly what we came in for or something completely unexpected thats perfect!
You could spend hours just looking around
Looking for antiques then your looking no further. There is a little of something for any collection. From pictures to trinkets from books to comics they have it. Plus so much more such as tools, knives, rocks, coins, and that special thing from your childhood that reminds you of back home. So get out and go check it out its a little hard to find. So plug in your mapquest and make and day of it.
I guess its worth a quick walk thru....but just so you know its 97% Junk.That is mostly the fault of the vendors.What is the fault of the owner is The Smell!! I had to roll my windows down when I drove away to get the smell off of me!
This place is so awesome. Booth # 358 had some seriously awesome items. Not just junk but retail quality items. I spent alot on this booth.
I love going in there. Wish I could have made it earlier to look longer. So much to look through. Some people want a little to much for their stuff, but still enjoy going in. I always find something I didnt know I needed.
Tons of stuff need a full day and probably more to get through everything. Gotta dig a little but its well worth the digging to find the treasures.
Love to browse and treasure hunt then this is the place for you. Every time I go I spend hours looking at the new stuff they have. You might get lucky and go on a day that they are selling fresh baked cookies YUM. Have never left disappointed and look forward to going again.
I never knew this place even existed & just found out about it a month or two ago... I absolutely love it. I am a thrifter and this place is perfect for someone like me. But I have yet to come across an employee that is polite or makes you feel welcome
Really great place. They had essentially everything there. Things were neat and the employees were polite and were happy to answer my questions.
Interesting place to visit, my first visit. I saw some things I would have liked to buy but will just think about it for a day. Nice people..Sandy was very helpful and gave us a short tour of the booths that were available to rent. We will decide which booth fits our needs and make a decision within the next couple days. Everything was neat and clean and I look forward to renting one of your spaces. Mae Browning
Plenty of collectibles to browse.
A fun place to go. Great variety of items to select from plus they give excellent customer service. Well be back.
So much stuff...... we ended up buying incense here. Its interesting and if you are just wanting to burn an hour or so its got plenty to walk through. Its got a split level and you might not even notice it when you are first walking around.
Lots of different things to look at, some cheap junk also. Never know what you will find. Few tools, military items, clothes the usual. Hard to believe I used to bowl there (it is an old bowling alley)
This place is a wonderful place to go shopping at and get Collectibles and DVDs and all that
Great place.
I was a bit surprised at how big the store actually was and also surprised at how much stuff they actually fit in there on top of that most of it is actually organized. when youre dealing with a flea market-type set up most of witches unsupervised except for a few video cameras you dont know what to expect. my overall review is I liked it and it was okay. I found a couple of things in the store for myself, which was a plus. if you decide you dont want something after picking it up they actually dont want you to put it back just bring it back up to the counter and tell them you changed your mind reason being every little booth in this little flea market is owner operated by someone and they want to make sure it gets back to the correct Booth because some items can be found in multiple booths
Love the variety. Staff is friendly.
Pretty cool place. The only thing that I would change is maybe have someone update prices, and rearrange some of the goods to where you can see more on a walk through the place without stopping to dig. If you like flea markets you will love this place!
Place has alot of stuff great place to visit
Great place to relax they practice social distan
I love this store. My grandson and I go about once a month and always find some treasures. Staff is wonderful. Keep up the good work.
Always love going here! Always new stuff to look at and add to your collection! Decent prices too!
I enjoy the random collections and items that Collectamania has. It seems to have more of a variety and better priced items. The building itself isnt so great, but the staff is friendly and helpful.
Havent been there in quite some time so stopped in the other day and was happy to see they have remodeled and it was much cleaner than before. As with any thrift store or consignment shop every booth is different from the next. From old items to new items and from cheap to expensive. I find it a fun place to go on a rainy day cause it takes full day there to see everything they have. Talk about something for everyone this is a good place to shop in my opinion.
Lots of cool things
Nice place to visit tons of good deals!
Booths for days. Vintage shopping of every kind and level.
